    Summary

    Vash falls ill with a strange, unfamiliar sickness while on the road and Wolfwood gets a crash-course in Plant biology.

    Vash realizes, in retrospect, he really should have seen it coming.

    It starts with a fever.

    “Hurts,” Vash gasped. “Why does it hurt?”

    The priest took Vash’s hand from where it dug into his side and gripped it tight, like he was trying to steady him. Hold him together. It made Vash shiver.

    “Have you ever been sick like this before?”

    “I don’t think so,” Vash groaned.

    Wolfwood rolled towards him then, touching his sweat-damp hair and cheek and the scars across his shoulders, as if he could feel out his ailment by hand alone. It made Vash’s body light up like a star, like the fission of energy from a Plant, forcing him to curl in on himself—and then it struck him.

    He had been sick like this, only once before.
